Bring back the option of turning off the Top Eleven effects

I hardly ever use any of them, but I often use ones in the full list. The extra click to get to the full list is driving me bananas.

👍 same here

Click the small white heart on an effect and it becomes a Favorite (Mouse over the effect to expose the heart if necessary.)

To remove a Favorite, click the heart on the effect in the Favorites window.

Also, if VP is repeatedly reinstalled (no need to re-download), eventually you may see this layout. This can take upwards of a half-dozen attempts.

Favorites don't help... you still have an extra click to go (from Top 11) to the favorites 😞

Not here - with the UI shown above. Favorites are selected when the effects box appears.

Drop a note to NCH telling them which layout you prefer.

Favorites are selected for video effects only - for audio effects, it's "top 11".

So it is. That's an inconsistency, and will be passed along.
